NY wines do well out west

The complete results of the prestigious 2007 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition — run by a sister newspaper of the Times Union — won’t be released until the Feb. 16 edition of the Chronicle is published.

However, we do know how New York wines made out in the competition involving 55 judges evaluating more than 3,800 wines.

• Baldwin Vineyards strawberry wine received a gold medal and best-of-class designation. This was the second straight year this entry was rated best fruit wine in the U.S., an honor added to its three straight bests in the New York Wine & Food Classic competition.
